Time’s up for pupils

STUDENTS at one of England’s worst schools have been ordered to go to bed by 9pm and to wake up at 6.30am in an attempt to improve standards.

They are also being warned that their smartphones could be confiscated for up to four months if they are caught using them in lessons.

The new rules mean they must walk down the corridors in single file and accept that teachers are the “unquestioned authority” in all circumstances.

The strict regime is being introduced at Great Yarmouth High School in Norfolk, where only 30 per cent of pupils passed English and maths GCSEs last year.
